Turns the asset shelf into a popover which reduces some of the special handling. An operator `WM_OT_call_asset_shelf_popover()` (similar to `WM_OT_call_panel()`) is added to be able to call the popover from shortcuts. Exactly this was an important aspect for the brush assets project, to allow quick searching for brushes from the popup. A custom shortcut can be added to asset shelf popovers using "Assign Shortcut" in the context menu of buttons invoking it. The popover is spawned with the mouse hovering the first asset and the search button active using "semi modal" handling. That means while the popover is open, any text input is captured by the search button, while the rest of the popover stays interactive. So for example navigating through asset catalogs is possible, a single click activates an asset and closes the popover.
